“Now I know that my voice is the voice of all sensible Sicilians, all sensible Italians, all sensible citizens of the world. So I say: we cannot go on like that; the old world is dead. (…) We must show the utmost gratitude and respect to all the people who struggled and reflected before us to make the world more civilised and to improve our living conditions. Still, we must realise that we need a new world.”
(Danilo Dolci, Saturday, March 11, 1967, at Piazza Kalsa in Palermo – Speech given at the end of the March for Hope and Protest)
